Tottenham have told England boss Fabio Capello to forget calling up Ledley King for the upcoming friendlies against Slovakia and Ukraine.

Capello intends to name Aaron Lennon and Jonathan Woodgate in his squad, says the Independent, and his scouts have also been impressed with King.

However, Tottenham have made it clear to the Football Association that they believe restarting King's international career would not be in the player's best interests.
